I asked them to go to the end of the line and they looked at me like I was crazy when I mentioned social distancing. One guy actually asked me what I meant by social distancing. My question is are there people who actually do live under a rock? How disconnected from current events can you possibly be?

I think those doomsday numbers are based on what is happening in New York, CT, NJ, New Orleans and other hot spots and really doesn't reflect actually what is happening in the US as a whole. Abbott said of those that have been tested in Texas approximately 98% test negative and of those that test positive only 2% are bad enough to need hospitalization. So if 1 million are tested and 98% are negative then 200,000 have it. If 2% of those need to be hospitalized that's just 4,000. I think Trump is doing the right thing and playing the media for the fools they are. Extend till May, vaccine's start working, cases go down, open up the economy and the economy will soar. Probably would happen even if he opened up things April 15th as previously had been mentioned.

The U.S. death total has doubled in two days. Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has been a leading voice in the effort to curb the outbreak, says 100,000 to 200,000 Americans could die before the crisis is over.
For 200,000 people to die, at a mortality rate of 1.5%, which is about what it is now, that means over $13m people will have to contract it.
The actual mortality rate is less than the 1.5% because that is only based on confirmed cases, not those that don't show any symptoms or don't get tested.
That sure sounds crazy based on current numbers.

Hopefully some widespread antibody testing will give us a better picture of actual mortality rate, since we currently have no actual idea but some estimates say it could be as low as 1/10th that of the normal flu.
